Candidates file for law and order positions
by John Q. Murray
For the first time in a generation, Mineral County voters will be choosing among competing candidates for all of their top law and order offices. Multiple candidates have filed to run for County Sheriff, County Attorney, and Justice of the Peace.
Two candidates have also filed to succeed Bob McComb as East End Commissioner, giving Mineral County its third new county commissioner in three elections. Jim Warnken, Judy Stang, and B.J. McComb each served three full terms before stepping down, Warnken in 2006, Stang in 2008, and McComb in 2010.
